Body orientation is the degree to which we face toward or away from someone with our body, feet, and head. (2) To understand how this kind of physical positioning communicates nonverbal messages, imagine that you and a friend are in the middle of a conversation when a third person approaches and wants to join you. (3) You're not especially glad to see this person, but you don't want to sound rude by asking him to leave. (4) By turning your body slightly away from the intruder, you can make your feelings very clear. (5) The nonverbal message here is, "We're interested in each other right now and don't want to include you in our conversation." (6) The general rule is that facing someone directly signals your interest, but facing away signals a desire to avoid involvement. B3. The keys to the important ideas in this passage are
